Rarities and interesting observations
Kobus Bekker reported an African harrierhawk some 20 km south of Sesriem at the end of June. Perusal of the Atlas indicates that this bird was seen in the same quarter degree square (QDS) as the southern most Atlas record in Namibia. Enquiries have revealed however that Peter Bridgeford saw one some time ago at Two Pumps on Farm Aandster (part of the NamibRand setup) which is south of this sighting. Eckart Demasius reported three spotted thickknees just east of Kramersdorf, Swakopmund, on 01/07/2010. While there are records of this species in this area it is by no means a common species there. Eckart last saw spotted thick-knees at the coast in Walvis Bay about 20 years ago.
